AmyLGK Posted 1 November 2010 Posted 1 November 2010 What are everyones thought on this?? I assume there MUST have been a topic started about this but I couldn't find one. I just can't stop laughing at Andy Grey!! He was just doing some inappropriate touching!!
Guest Bilo Posted 1 November 2010 Posted 1 November 2010 I thought they were re-introducing FNF for a minute there! Used to love that as a nipper at Filbert Street watching the ressies.

Guest Bilo Posted 1 November 2010 Posted 1 November 2010 I actually have no idea what that is!! Pretty sure they stopped doing it regularly in about the late 90s. Basically, kids could get in for a quid or two to watch the reserves play at Filbert Street. You knew it was a big game when they had to open the Double Decker as they did against Man United reserves once. I'll never forget our lot stuffing Oldham 8-1.
Fosse Boy Posted 1 November 2010 Posted 1 November 2010 Football was meant to be played at 3 o'clock on Saturday. Fully agree about FNF though. Bring it back.
Matt Posted 1 November 2010 Posted 1 November 2010 I thought they were re-introducing FNF for a minute there! Used to love that as a nipper at Filbert Street watching the ressies. Great introduction to football for kids! My dad would never take me to a proper match until he knew i'd sit and enjoy the games so FNF was brilliant, better than taking kids to the first team matches and wanna get up for the toilet every 5 minutes or sit there with thers DS' or whatever.
AmyLGK Posted 1 November 2010 Author Posted 1 November 2010 OOHH FRIDAY night football - yes I remember that! Was always jealous of the kids whos parents took them to it - no-one in my family likes football!!

Might be the same thing you are thinking about but don't think it was ever on Fridays. FNF standed for Family Night Football.

It's a brilliant way to get kids into football, must have been better for the players as well to play in front of a crowd of 4-5k at Filbo than one man and his dog at Belvoir Drive. It helped get me into footie anyway. Bring it back I say.

AmyLGK Posted 1 November 2010 Author Posted 1 November 2010 Might be the same thing you are thinking about but don't think it was ever on Fridays. FNF standed for Family Night Football. But it was on during the week in the evenings though?? I was only a kid in the 90's - what day was it on? Monday Oh - thanks!
The Doctor Posted 1 November 2010 Posted 1 November 2010 But it was on during the week in the evenings though??

Guest Bilo Posted 1 November 2010 Posted 1 November 2010 nah. it was going till at least the end of the 2002-2003 season. Was it? Thought it was only occasional by the time we moved to the Walkers, though to be fair I was 18/19 by that time and a bit old for the FNF thing really.

Spider Kalac, Jamie Lawrence, Julian Joachim, and alot of other first teamers back in the day, always seem to remember them playing quite often when I went.
AmyLGK Posted 1 November 2010 Author Posted 1 November 2010 Aw sounds like it was a good night out - gutted I missed them! Am I the only one watching MNF on Sky then???
Fox You Forest Posted 1 November 2010 Posted 1 November 2010 Nope, I'm watching in the hope DJ bags three, we haven't had a thread about him for some time now, very worrying.
davieG Posted 1 November 2010 Posted 1 November 2010 Aw sounds like it was a good night out - gutted I missed them! Am I the only one watching MNF on Sky then??? Probably needed to be posted in General Football & Sport or you could have added to this topic - http://www.foxestalk.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=67287&pid=1720289&st=800entry1720289 I'll move it to GF&S
ScouseFox Posted 1 November 2010 Posted 1 November 2010 Very harsh, Carson was unlucky with the penalty aswell.
Arkie Bennett Posted 1 November 2010 Posted 1 November 2010 Doubtful whether it should have been a penalty, but then the Baggies have been punished twice with the sending off. It was hardly a clear goalscoring opportunity. I think there is far too much expectation on referees to make decisions based on their judgements about the gameplay - was it a goalscoring opportunity; was the player interfering with play; should advantage be played, etc.
